Divine,
From one sisterfriend to another, may I offer this to you...don't concern yourself with such negativity. Just focus learning about the organization,getting to know the members of the chapter you would like to be a part of and making it the best experience possible. Have confidence that you WILL have the best intake process when it's your time. You will be told of proper procedure when the time comes and if you happened to be faced with a situation that is contrary to your belief systems, trust your heart..your intuituion. I know it can be hard not to think about what happened with this one or that one but if you remain focus then perhaps you can teach the next one to do the same and it will start a chain of positivity. From my viewpoint, part of the reason why these stories keep resurfacing(whether) there are true or not is that the issue keeps resurfacing. I also believe that negative stories tend to perpetuate the real vs. fake issue even further.
Sisterfriend again, don't fret
. Focus on the positivity and trust that you WILL HAVE THE BEST EXPERIENCE POSSIBLE. All the best to you.
